After Taking MASSIVE Pandemic Job Hits, Black Workers Are Moving Into Higher-Paying Industries


No one in America can say the pandemic did not negatively impact them in some way.

For Black Americans, some felt the pandemic pushed them back even further.

For example, the unemployment rate for Black workers peaked at 16.8-percent in May 2020, which was higher than the overall unemployment rate that peaked at 14.7 percent in April 2020.

Since then, the U.S. labor market has rebounded. Black women and men have seen some employment and labor force participation gains.

On Thursday, Joelle Gamble spoke with #RolandMartinUnfiltered guest host Terace Garnier about the CEA analysis of pandemic shifts in black employment and wages.
